étlapról

"Étlapról" is a Hungarian word that translates to "from the menu" or "on the menu." It refers to the list of food and beverage options available at a restaurant or other eating establishment. Typically, an étlapról details the dishes offered, often categorized into starters, main courses, desserts, and drinks. Prices are usually listed alongside each item. The presentation and content of an étlapról can vary greatly depending on the type of establishment, from simple, handwritten lists in casual eateries to elaborately designed, multi-page documents in fine dining restaurants. It serves as a crucial communication tool between the establishment and its patrons, guiding their dining choices. In some contexts, the term can also refer to the act of ordering from such a menu. The term originates from the French word "etiquette," meaning a label or ticket, which evolved to denote a list of items, particularly in the context of food and drink. Understanding the étlapról is fundamental to navigating a dining experience in Hungary and other regions where Hungarian is spoken.
